Responding to the Bank of England's decision not to change interest rates today, Kevin Shaw, National Sales Managing Director at Leaders Romans Group (our umbrella company), said: "After a reduction in August, the decision not to reduce interest rates further in September was what we’d expected. "The impact of August’s cut has had the desired effect of changing sentiment towards affordability and we’ve seen a very positive revival in the last month. Instructions (supply) and applicant levels (demand) are both up year-on-year (11% and 7% respectively) and this has had a significant impact on sales - which are up 27% year-on-year across the Leaders Romans Group brands. "The Government’s, and the Bank’s, stated aim is to bring interest rates down further this year, and so we hope to see the second drop of the year at the next Monetary Policy Committee on 7 November and perhaps one further reduction before Christmas. "We need more than a single reduction of 0.25% to re-establish confidence across the market. Specifically we face the considerable ‘known unknown’ of the Budget on 30 October. We know that Capital Gains Tax and Inheritance Tax are likely to rise. But we’ve known this for some time and people have planned accordingly. The big questions surround Stamp Duty and other taxes, of which little is known. "A further reduction would bring a substantial benefit to the market – which, as the Government identifies – is crucial to the economic prosperity of the country." #interestrates #mortgagerates #bankofengland #ukpropertymarket
